KNX Radio: New Bill Aims to Protect Workers Reporting Labor Violations
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KNX) – A new Senate bill in California is aiming to protect workers who report labor violations from being fired or harassed.
Introduced by Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, the Equal Pay and Anti-Retaliation Protection Act would allow the Labor Commissioner to presume retaliation has happened when an employer punishes or terminates a worker within 90 days of the worker's complaint of unequal pay or wage theft.
